My seventh grade humanities teacher was an older lady from Galveston, Texas. She always had Little Debbie Honeybuns for anyone who wanted them even though they were forbidden by the school, she put up a dedicated bulletin board in her classroom for my pro-animal rights propaganda and art, and she let me do my independent research projects on cool ass topics like chastity belts in the Middle Ages (which Iām just now learning were not realā¦) and Sigmund Freudās impact on Victorian sexual norms. Yes Iām normal.
Anyway she would call us all dearheart and that really stuck with me as a term of endearment I think itās so lovely and tender and genuine š„¹

šProbably a basic answer now, but Iām from North Carolina and love it lol. One time I met a woman visiting here from California and she was so excited to tell me in a whisper like it was a secret, āsometimes when people say ābless your heartā theyāre actually being sarcasticā and I didnāt choose the response of ābless your heartā because it seemed like low hanging fruit.

šBecause a manager at an old job of mine used it, and she had really kind energy. It made me feel warm and fuzzies when I read it, so I stole it and have been using it ever since š

š§·5 years ago on the subway i complimented an old lady wearing a pin-covered jacket and an elf-like hat
She asked me which pin was my favourite & I pointed to one of animal from the muppets. She took it off, handed it to me, and walked away before I could thank her. It felt like Iād been given a good luck charm by some mystical being.
I mentioned the moment 2 years ago in a songwriting class, and turns out she was a regular at the TAās place of work :ā) I think about her very frequently

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebodyābe it a relative or one of my best friendsāwas to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too š
